Hospital Private hospital

😠 Been using at this hospital since 2012 multiple times using their private rooms, but recently the services have been very disappointing, from quality of the nurses to the handling of their admin stuff. If their private rooms are fully occupied, you can forget about staying here as their semi-privat... People often mention hospital, room, nurses, private, service, time, doctor, email,

    Don’t even deserve one star! The worst ever in town! Grumpy nurses are lazy like hell! All the staffs are unprofessional and unkind! They misplaced my stuffs and lost them. No apology at all! Facilities are broken in my private room but they didn’t fix it! Customer service staffs are not bothered to give me a reply. Blacklisted!

    Easy to access with the shuttle bus provided Not looks like a hospital when you get into the specialist building

    Professional and great service with the private room. It's not cheap but generally everything is on time and well prepared. There's no convience store to pick up small snacks other than the staff canteen, this can be a turn-off during the COVID lockdown(Feb 2022) since there's a PCR test (self-pay) if you exit and re-enter the building.

    I’d like to share my experience with Dr Vercia Lau and her unprofessional behaviour during my visitation at Union Hospital with a sick 2.5 month old newborn on 15 August 2022. Dr. Vercia Lau and her nurse were identified impatient during the consultation process as we were the last patient of the day. As parents I can vividly sense that Dr Lau wants to get our case done asap. During the doctor consultation, she stated more than one time we need to ‘已結果為目標‘ and showed impatience when parents as us trying to explain our concerns and observations. Our baby couldn’t eat well and sleep well for over 3 days and as parents it’s definitely normal when we wanted to get to know why, and seek advice from a professional pediatrician. And that’s why we came all the way to seek doctor’s advice at Union. We were told we only got one last question to ask after simply less than 10 min of consultation that made the whole consultation in a rush and we couldn’t get the answer as we expected apart from stuffy nose. The doctor did not even ask us on the baby’s feeding pattern at all. The whole treatment process is disappointing. While stuffy nose was regarded as the root cause as identified by Dr Lau, she claimed that no help or assistance could be provided by hospital side for cleaning bb’s nose even though she stated that there’s residue in baby’s nose and some might be hard to be cleared through manual pick. During the consultation, the doctor diagnosed our baby got 口水蘚 and need to apply medical paste In order to get recovered. However, not sure if it’s becoz she wanted to get off ASAP, she missed out prescribing the paste as promised. It’s me to identify the missed out item after coming back home and call to follow up. Yet, the department could not arrange anything to compensate for their wrongdoing. The mistake might not be severe enough to cause casualty but the responsibility lies on the doctor and Union Hospital. I would not recommend Dr Lau and the extended 兒科.

    It's a private hospital so it is not cheap. But quality and safety comes at a price. My wife delivered her and we were very satisfied with the service. Staff is polite, considering and efficient. And the care provided were of good quality.

    DREADFUL EXPERIENCE!! In summary, some nurses are nice, but the pharmacy and payment process are unacceptable! We finished the whole checkup in 30-40 mins including wait time which was surprisingly short (I give them credit for that), but we waited 90 mins just for our meds because somewhere between the doctor, the nurses or the pharmacy’s big miscommunication. We came because of the OBGYN reputation and it was our first pre-natal check up and it was supposed to be a happy experience until it wasn’t. A simple check up was $1,500 (no tests included) is by no means cheap. I would expect a better service from a private hospital. We really don’t know how to trust this hospital for our little one and I really hope they can improve but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to come before they do so.

    Dr CHEUNG Yiu Cheong is the most caring, professional and skillful Obstetrician second to none! We can only recommend him! His attention to detail and his experience makes him the role model Doctor! Thank you and also to the consistent and reliable supporting staff even during this difficult pandemic. Keep it up!!

    In rating a hospital it is always a good idea to consider how the particular hospital in question deals with clients' complaints and feedback. If this element is considered, then the UNION HOSPITAL fails miserably. I know from experience this is the case - denial, denial, denial. Very, very disappointed. Oh yes, and still suffering due to their (UH, Sha Tin) professional incompetence. Such a shame, as the staff are first class

    Really bad experience. Feel like the hospital is run by amateurs. Dr Chang Wai Yin, James attitude are among the worst medical stuff you can get in Hong Kong.

    One word. Run. Do not come near this hospital at all. The doctors are incompetent. They do not think. I have been here a twice in the past couple of months and both times they were not able to get at diagnosis, infact they have given the wrong diagnosis. Pls guys. Seriously, they will bleed you dry, take numerous tests, call numerous “experts”, each one more ignorant than the one previously. Not to mention how rascist they are. A doctor actually called me “troublesome Indian lady”. In the end you will walk out with a humongous bill and no diagnosis. you will realize the words “we don’t know” is a common part of their speech. Pls contact me if you need further info. But pls if you have the option do not come into this hospital. Especially if you are an expat. They are rascist too.

    The maternity package and service is up to standard for private hospital. The nurses are caring and helpful. The semi private room is a bit small though with two beds sharing one bathroom. Food is not included in the maternity package though. Feeding time is set and Moms need to go to the feeding room or else the nurses will help feed ready to feed formula milk (got quite many different brands to choose on day 1)z

    Been using at this hospital since 2012 multiple times using their private rooms, but recently the services have been very disappointing, from quality of the nurses to the handling of their admin stuff. If their private rooms are fully occupied, you can forget about staying here as their semi-private room services is a totally different world, can't imagine their normal ward. Twice using their semi-private room because of unavailability of their private rooms, twice as disappointed. While they over-kill with 4-5 nurses brushing in and out or private rooms every like 30 mins, nurses in semi-private were inexperienced and looked like she was skewering my veins to put the drip, ended up with 4 months of bruised wrist, not to mention the injection bruises on my butt for 4 months! Recently my kid got sick and stayed there for 4 days, the whole paediatric dept was like a war-zone, so many human errors could have been made if one wasn't careful. Some nurses were not even sure of what they were doing. Once a nurse kept asking my 4.5 yr old girl to walk herself to the nebuliser room while she was attached to the drip. I came out of the bathroom and saw what happened, reminded the nurse that my girl is attached to the drip!!! And she only realised after I told her, seriously? While in the nebuliser room, she instructed us to press the button as usual to ask for top-up of the liquid half-way through the process, but when we pressed the button, she told us to return to the room. Luckily I knew what was going on and reminded her she needed to top up the liquid! I will not mention many others mistakes they made that really made me worry about returning there in future. Every hour in the middle of the night, nurses would barge into the room, open the door so wide with blindly lights from the corridor, walking with their footsteps so loud and wake everyone in the room up. And a few times they came into the room just to put the nebuliser masks back! while we parents had to look after the kid ourselves through out the day, we couldn't even rest properly at night. Barely asleep at 4am after they placed the mask, at 6am, a nurse came in and ask menial questions such as what the child had eaten, whether there's any poo or pee...Well, they don't have to wake people up at 6AM in the morning just to ask these questions! Worst was asking for reports. While there's this thing call encryption email with password, this hospital has been very reluctant to send reports using email upon multiple requests. We discharged from the hospital lacking a blood culture report. The hospital insisted on posting to us instead of sending in an encrypted email. We have not received the report due to the recent closure of the post office. While there is a chance of mail getting lost or stolen, how is that any safer than sending email? The hospital mentioned that was the only printed report they have and not possible to email anymore. While I asked what if it's lost in the mail? She insisted that we wait for the report, and if lost, we have to request for another print-out and collect it ourselves at the hospital. They have sent an encrypted email earlier after I made a request, I am not sure why they are so persistent on sending out physical mail or asking for self-collection. Well, thanks very much for your excellent service, Union hospital. Thinking about going back is already a nightmare, I'll switch to another private hospital from now on. And now I know why my friends staying in new territories would rather travel all the way to HK side to Sanatorium hospital than to go to Union which is 10 mins away.

    I am now living in the hospital and the kind of room is almost private, which can live up to 2 people. Though the price is 30 percent more, the bed is comfortable. Everything is good. The toilet, is not good though. When you shower, you have to turn on a button to make the water warmer and wait for 15 mins. This time, I took of all my clothes to found the water was not warm enough. At that time, I had to wear my clothes which is the clothes I will wear after I showered. Though my home was also like this, I can go out when there’s no people watching you, but right next to the toilet was a another people. At that moment, it was very embarrassing. After that we founded a button to make the water warmer.
